“The trouble with any swimming pool is that it never makes as much money as it costs, they are very expensive things to run.”-Town Councillor Mark Morris.

Oar'scrossed boats running rivers
push pull cash force flow?

Rowing is a sport in which athletes race against each other on rivers, on lakes or on the ocean, depending upon the type of race and the discipline. The boats are propelled by the reaction forces on the oar blades as they are pushed against the water. The sport can be both recreational, focusing on learning the techniques required,[1] and competitive where overall fitness plays a large role. It is also one of the oldest Olympic sports. In the United States, high school and collegiate rowing is sometimes referred to as crew.[2] -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_%28sport%29

A SWIMMING COMMUNITY STUDY
I have witnessed many swimming facilities - from my home, near where i was born - torn down - and redeveloped, in a way i find unsound and which leaves the community - and the SWIMMING COMMUNITY - with a paddling pool and/or sophisticated private/council run - leisure complex. Complex being the operative word here.
I hope to bring some clarity and add footnotes to the subject of swimming community that i have been writing about fanatically - since the closure of Brierley Hill Leisure Centre - that used to stand by the mighty Merry Hill Center, an event i watched closely, documented and tried to communicate further by writing poetry and writing some letters, i even jumped in the local river and pulled out a shopping trolley - expressing my wishes to the baboon reporter that he mention the closure of Brierley Hill Baths - which they carefully left out from the final article (The Top Image of this Blog.) smile!
One raving letter i sent regarding swimming community was reproduced, with some pictures, in an on-line magazine - you can read it here if you like? (I have since called down and no longer wish to race anybody, although it was tongue in cheek) Still, the council and the private enterprise business enterprise business complex seem to be slowly removing most of the original swimming baths left dotted around the U.K. But who are they, the staff are not responsible, the M.P's hands are tied, the Newsmedia seems to be the only force moving the MESSAGES around. And so a kind of deadlock ensues between a complex of forces, political, economic - mediated by the news, which for the most part is under the management of their corporate owners, and so the cycle of deciet continues and we loose our swimming pools. This is just one model, maybe i am getting old at 33 and not up with the new schemes regarding leisure center's and swimming facilities?
Still, right now, in Coseley - a very similar scenario is taking place, where a swimming baths has been EARMARKED for closure by the Council, against the wishes of many within the local community, and all within the swimming community (with a 2000 + strong facebook group to boot!) I figure that some writing and questioning are a good idea and a contribution to the others, the others who wonder what the hell is going on in Councils across the U.K shutting down swimming baths. (not to mention the other facilities and public spaces being sold off and out by some gambling M.P's and some council members.
Save Coseley Baths? From what or whom? Are people the problem here or is this a matter of circumstances connected with the economic machine? Is everyone just throwing their hands in the air and saying “The pool must close, sorry, we are so sorry but the pool is not safe, and we (who precisely?) do not have enough money to keep the swimming pool open. For what reason do you not have enough money? Have the voting public any say whatsoever in the way non-local government spends their money? Just what are their values? What comes above a swimming baths in their value-system of public related leisure facilities? Does the author or editor (who exactly) really have the authority to say what will or will not happen? Based on whose sources? And written in whose newspeak lingo? Are the authorities really going to make a final decision before ALL THE DATA HAS ARRIVED, like very bad scientists? Is Coseley swimming baths a PUBLIC baths or a PRIVATE baths?
Who defines these things? How many M.P’s or council members do you know? Do you know if they swim? Do you think that it is important for politicians and councillors to swim? Study philosophy and/or Neuro Linguistic Programming? How much more complicated does it seem to say that COSELEY BATHS IS TO STAY OPEN, and to give the scenarios and reasons WHY the baths must STAY open, opposed to repeating the baited headline COSELEY BATHS WILL CLOSE? Can we expect the newsmedia and the news journalists to be of any help when they are owned by huge private corporations? Why can’t the people of Coseley who want the baths to stay open start a private corporation to privately repair and run the pool? Who brokers the deals between leisure services, councils and wrecking crewes? Enough questions? After all, i do not propose to know any of the answers, unlike the Express and Star and the Council and many others, i mean, to be Frank how many of you are really thinking that the swimming baths will close and be reduced to a pile of rubble?
How many of you readers can build - in your imagination - A vision, yes, a vision of a thriving Coseley swimming baths in 2010 and on into the future, a baths with a new or repaired roof and happy familiar staff and a baths with reduced rates. Surely we must keep optimistic thoughts? Optimistic Thoughts are the key to keeping the swimming pool open in Coseley. Don’t let the newspress and the stinking cheats and liars they panda too influence your reading, your own research and intelligent use of the internet? Don’t let me dictate any more questions to you, write some of your own, just do it, Michael Phelps would want you to. Micheal Phelps will help us. He wants the pool to stay open. Jesus would have wanted Coseley baths to stay open, maybe for anointments and walking practice? Mohammed would want the baths to stay open, maybe to enable cleanliness and clarity of mind? The Rabbi’s would want the swimming baths to remain open, maybe because they have some sense of social justice and fairness? Buddhist Monks and the Dali Lama might like to see the baths stay standing? Shakespeare would want the baths to stay open? Mark My Spits.
Coseley Baths is available for community ASSET transfer? (see Worrel Swiiming Baths). Coseley Baths is not the only baths under threat – find the others? What did other swimming clubs do? Do swimming clubs keep in touch about plots and schemes to close down swimming facilities? Maybe a swimming clubs guide to council attack: a case study, or something like that is in order? “Council bosses say their hands are tied by a structural report.” The noose that ties these hands maybe loosened by an independent structural report. IF THEY CAN WAIT FOR ALL THE DATA TO COME IN. And not make a pre-emptive strike on the baths in haste? The community of Coseley and the greater area of Dudley shall not fight to keep the baths open, or protest that the baths (is) closing, no, we shall celebrate the vision of a healthy swimming baths, throw a party, any party - under the moniker of Save The Swimming Baths.
It’s not just Coseley Baths under threat but many around the country, similar forces pushing and pulling down swimming baths for re-development, often not suitable for club swimming, and for private interest. My advice must be to find the others and gather your data. Internet can be your friend.
I am doing an event in aid of Coseley Baths this Thursday - all proceeds going to (a box with “Coseley Baths” written on it) - i await further instructions of what to do with that money, who and what to send it too.

31st December 2005
Brierley Hill, Black Country, West Midlands, England, Europe, Earth. 4.57 PM
I just now literally had the plug pulled on me at my local swimming baths in Brierley Hill. I was also literally "caged in" like a dangerous shark by very large steel barricades while they emptyed the pool. The water drained from the pool either was or was not drained into the local beautiful Brierley Hill cannal.
My thoughts today are with those who will not get to experience the pleasure of swimming at the baths, its a great refreshing feeling. People having good clean fun and also learning an important skill, which someday may even save their life if they fell into the canal, or got into deep water while on holiday in the ocean.
As i was a past fully qualiflyed lifeguard at Stourbridge Crystal leisure center nearby, i fully understand and beg for forgiveness from the Dudley Metropolitan Borough staff slaving away at Brierley Hill swimming baths, and i swear on my Midland district title that this will not happen again. Ever again. Unless they refill and reopen the pool. Sorry for questioning your authority and not following your orders to leave the pool, i also would like to apologize for diving in the shallow end and petting once or twice in the pool some years back. I also apologise for squeezing and massaging some female breasts at Brierley Hill baths, forgive me farther for my sins.
I am a big supporter and interested participant in health and fitness around the black Country, West Midlands and In Great Britain generally. In fact i would like to see the whole world become more able to experience the pleasures and envigerating qualities of such sports as swimming, football, cricket, basketball, track and field etc. I hope in the future that our so called representatives from all nations around the world will factor in the need for investment and facilities for sport and leisure activities.
Today happens to be the last day that Great Britain holds the presidency of the council of the Knu-European Union. To commemorate this historic event in passing i would once again like to draw attention to the closure of our local leisure centre and swimming pool and contrast it, if you will, with the ever expanding economic growth and retail industry that has been born from the corporate capitalist venture called Merry Hill shopping and business center.

2012 OLYMPICS FLY AGARIC 23. BRANDELUSIONAL PROTEST
Ever thought of sport? Or how sporting spirit, fair game, good rules and equal competition, playing field - relate to economics, politics and history? This kind of legal TRICKERY and use of the arms of Government to influence public, private, commercial sectors - so as to legally protect their monopoly on terms, words, phrases, LOGOS! eh? A familiar game to any paying attension to the media brainstorming and faith-based initiatives surrounding sports - in all the worlds media. Who owns the Olympic rings, ZEUS?
"Olympic contractors face marketing ban

Companies winning work on the London 2012 Olympics, one of the UK’s biggest business opportunities for generations, are being obliged to sign a contract forbidding them from marketing their involvement in the games.
The rules bar suppliers from issuing press releases, running advertising or any marketing or public relations campaigns publicising their link to the 2012 event as well as banning them from using the Olympic logos.
EDITOR’S CHOICE
Challengers for Olympic orders - Feb-03
In depth: Olympics 2012 - Jan-21
The No Marketing Rights Clauses protocol, drawn up by the Olympic authorities, even seeks to specify the tone suppliers adopt in internal communications with staff about their involvement in the games, stipulating it “should be undertaken in an understated, proportionate and regular fashion”.
The 32-page guidance website bars suppliers from creating games-related job titles: “London 2012 Co-ordinator”, “2012 Unit” or “Olympic Group” are all off limits.
Inclusion of the Olympic bodies on client lists is permitted only where at least nine other clients are mentioned. Recruitment advertising must not be “Olympified” in any way, through use of imagery, logos or undue emphasis.
The £9.3bn publicly funded event is expected to generate more than £6bn of contracts for businesses, with 7,000 directly awarded contracts and a further 68,000 in the supply chain.
The protocol devised by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Delivery Authority is intended to protect the rights of the event’s official sponsors, vital contributors to the £2bn which must be raised from private sources. Tier one sponsors are paying £40m plus each, tier two sponsors £20m plus and tier three £10m on average. -- http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f2013ad6-f22e-11dd-9678-0000779fd2ac.html

"The wind is part of the process
The rain is part of the process. --EZRA POUND, Canto LXXIV.
"Both Joyce and Pound felt that the traditional narrative form of epic was obsolete and replaced it with what Joyce called Epiphany and what Pound called Ideogram.
To Joyce, an epiphany meant any event however seeming trivial
which revealed something "grave and constant" in human affairs.
To Pound, an ideogram meant an event which illuminated things far
beyond what it referred to. It seems impossible to disentangle [[Joyce]]’s Epiphany from [[Pound]]’s Ideogram. --Robert Anton Wilson, Recorsi: The Tale of the Tribe.

"To Pound, the ideogram represents the one form of
written language that has been used to build society,
but which is also based directly upon natural forces.
Ideograms thus have a kind of double-focus,
pointing to both the world of human activity and to the
unchanging patterns of energy and fruition.
Because Pound was convinced that signs granted by
nature itself and infinitely richer than any conventionalized
notation "and from nature the sign" (CII:730) -Micheal Berstein, The Tale of The Tribe.

WHY NOT STEVE COOGAN FOR THE OLYMPIC COMMENTARY?
For me, Steve Coogan playing the SPORTS GENIUS ALAN PARTRIDGE Would make the most concise, literal and entertaining Sports Commentator for the Beijing Olympic Games 2008.
Listening to the cliche' and cheap jibes from the BBC commentary,
These clips of STEVE at his best around 1994 in "THE DAY TODAY" are the best way to make a peaceful, insightful and fun way to watch sports.
If your going to be talking during SPORTS, do it with satire.
IMHO The day today, along with BRASS EYE and SAXONDALE are the most focused satire and critiq' of the corporate mainstream media and their deceptive language structure in the United Kingdom.

IMPERIAL SPORTS COMMENTARY.
Listening the BBC's imperial-centric commentary on all the teams here to play sports, not DO POLITICS. I must agree that
"any words or acts that interfere in other countries' internal affairs." should be dropped in favor of words describing the sporting activity, process and rules! here lies the ways to peace and understanding between people and nations.
The BBC sports commentary so far has angered me, and i can imagine at least 50 statements about INTERNATIONAL POLITICS, mostly about CHINA, that i would consider unnecessary and in stark contrast to the universally, UNITY themed Opening ceremony.
The English Imperial alphabet kicks straight in, defining the geo-political, economic, business and humanitarian issues of various places around the world with their disgusting patriotic bias. In league with Bozo the clown and his daddy's intelligence brief.
All the flags in position for the second coming of a global capitalist New World Order. Business in arms, oil, steel, germs, minerals, all mediated by the Olympic Super-race. Listening to the BBC 1 sports commentary the Beijing Olympics seems like an Illuminati Games. Teeming with the worlds sporting Hero's and political Villains. But i doubt they will interchange many ideas. Therefore, I am NEMO. nobody. Competing for no nation, no country or tribe.
Green Olympics. Graffiti Olympics. Illuminati Olympic Games. Who makes the rules. Who mediates the messages. Who's history. Who's country, boundary, language. Why and how are these things that way?
Cultural exchange between the peoples of world will not be possible with the 150 sovereign nations in the way. They must be dissolved, sportingly, with everybody becoming stewards of planet earth. drop the debt. Drop the Imperial Patriotism. Drop monotheism and DOGMA. Drop Nuclear weapons programmes world-wide. We don't need no governor.
Be a sport. Play fair. Have Fun. These Games belong to you. THE PEOPLE.
PEACEFUL GATHERING OF ETHNIC, POLITICAL, FRIENDS. Gather your pens dear athletes.
Be roll models. REJECT DOPE DEALING AND CHEATING Governments.

Responding to Bush's speech, delivered earlier in the day in Thailand, which praised China's modernization but expressed "deep concerns" over restrictions on faith and free speech, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a curt statement that bristled with anger over "any words or acts that interfere in other countries' internal affairs."-- http://seattletimes.nwsource.com

Oilimpic Flames.
Since alls
war that end war let sports be leisure and
bring and buy fair. Ah ah athclete, blest your
bally bathfeet! --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, Page 279.
The wonderful story of Jesse Owens seems like a fairy tale to me, a modern folk tale in which the skill, dexterity and physical ability of a single individual human being overcomes and dances-a-jig upon the face of evil political super-power, in the Jesse Owens case Adolf Hitler, and one of the most violent and openly hateful super-powers in history--The Nazi Party.
In 2008 this tale of a good hero overcoming an evil villain, or at least dancing upon the face of evil--if you wish to adopt the popular dualism good/evil--seems an encouraging one we can all learn from. A Positive story of an individuals brilliance demonstrated through skill and endurance. I think that the general heart, of all humanity, or an approximation of all humanity would agree that if you can show your the BEST, then fairs fair. You are the best, or fastest, or highest scorer or most original, and the list goes on and on with adjectives to describe WHY somebody is GOOD. Not just good, but VERY VERY good. Some might even say the best, although i doubt that Tina Turner had table-Tennis in mind when she wrote "Simply the Best"? Many other songs with the words GOLD. WINNER. BEST in them get prescribed by our Big Telecommunication Brothers.
"Free speech without free radio speech is as zero --Ezra Pound, Canto 74.
objectivity and fairness seem to become hyper-skewed around the language surrounding Sporting events, especially the OLYMPICS. Sometimes i think that violence and tribal tensions in many cities across the world are aggravated by BAD LANGUAGE use by the media and the press. There is always an very obvious dualism when TWO teams are playing one-another, but to slip outside of the SPORTS GAME itself into the social, political, economic, gastric and other areas of human experience with this dualistic view seems a terrible blow to any neurological revisions or peaceful-poetic modes of communication.
And frustratingly to me, SPORTS seem to hold mostly VERBS in their track-pack. But to begin mixing metaphor's and facts together when writing or talking about Sports, or sports people: ATHLETES brings up many problems. At least to my understanding. The WHY question arises often. Why are the sports-people doing such and such an event, and not ________ sporting event? WHO MAKES THE RULES? And of course there is the giant carbuncle on the WORLD SPORTING COMMUNITY: DRUGS. (Or some drugs, not all drugs. Sugar seems to still be tolerated and at the heart of most sporting sponsorship deals.
But before i get into the paradoxes and more negative criticisms of the Olympic Games, SPORTS in a general sense, and the language by which we describe these activities; i would like to refocus upon Jesse Owens, and call for everybody to excel in whatever it is they are GOOD at. Practice your crafts and activities and don't be afraid of the big bad wolf, or the so called super-powers. Hopefully by 2012 the world will have lost its fascination with SPORTS CELEBRITY ICONS and re-focused attention on the process of the activity that they are actually doing. And then asking what else can they do? And why are our political puppets on the TV screen, the most un-sporting individuals upon planet earth!
Maybe we should look for our LEADERS and government officials among those who have a great sporting ability and/or accomplishments? Quick in body quick in mind? or Robot Mind robot body?
Well one view: sports is sports. Politics and governance is politics and governance.
Ice cream is ice cream. Horse dung is horse dung. The Mixing of these terms can bring to mind, and page, some nasty smells and sights. Mixing up an INDIVIDUAL with the NATION they are representing visualized as the flag-costume that many athletes pimp. Unable to wear their own colors? Literally wearing the COLORS AND SYMBOLS of THEIR pirate slave nation. But in the process world this seems to me like only going half way. Why not wear your nations statistics, constitutional documents or MOTTOS, or their BEST Graffiti? You want to play communication and costume games.
ZEN and the art of Oilympic Engineering.
“Dom on dam,
dim in dym. And a capital part for olympics to ply at. Steadyon,
Cooloosus! Mind your stride or you'll knock. While I'm dodging
the dustbins. Look what I found! --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, Page 625.
I fess up that i don't really know ZEN, but ZEN knows me i suspect, and when i read about ZEN, swordsmanship, calligraphy and Tea Ceremony i get the feeling that they have a similar sentiment as i, when asking questions about SPOTSMANSHIP, Sports, Athletes, Games and Rules. Some Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian thinking and ancient wisdom also feels inviting with its flexibility towards WHY people do activities.
Although ZEN seems defined by the Japanese Culture and its Master Teachers, China also has many ZEN like qualities, and when you dig into it you can make ZEN, Confucianism, Taoism and other forms of Buddhism interchange many positive attributes between one another. Respect of others, oneself and the environment. And they can also be shown to carry less appealing traits depending on who is carrying and translating the signals.
"fair dream of
sport and game and always something new. --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, Page 472.
Here in the West it seems a similar situation to me, but with a stronger wind blowing dogmatic certainty in all directions from some but not all of the Christian, Judean, Islamic world views. And with an unfortunate fascination with WHO's GOD is better and more rightfully certainly better than another's. Such are the pitfalls of monotheism, church/state capitalism and Alphabetic Monopoly. I think the same BAD influences and impulses are at work in the Communist East and the Democratic West. The bridge can be constructed or burnt down depending on WHAT it IS you are doing. WHY you do what you do. WHO benefits from your activities. These impulses or the meaning behind the meaning and beyond classification, due to the language barrier between western-occidental Alphabet cultures and more Eastern-Oriental Ideogramic Cultures. Impulses are very hard to represent scientifically, but with sports and games and athletics we have an open invitation to ask these questions, but when the economic and political drives/impulses far out balance any artistic or poetic drives/impules we have a CONTRADICTING GAMES.
Imagine if the United Nations, The Olympic Committee and the World Bank, IMF etc. all gathered to compete? But in 2008 the GAMES are changing. THE NEW GLOBAL GAMES ARE EMERGING. Without any rules, the EARTH is begging to play GAMES. And if our HUMAN games do NOT begin to include a HEALTHY PLANET EARTH and environment soon. The GAMES may appear to be a posh get together of the worlds elite sports-priests to sell whatever it is their NATION state is selling. As POLITICAL ACTION AND PROTEST will not be tolerated at the Olympic Games and most sporting events to be frank, then the possibility of a cultural exchange and a playful loving get-together goes out the window. But still the question begs.
"We are now in a position to get rid of the 150 sovereignties and
have a re:circulatory, interacommadative, world-around
democratic system. -- Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path, page 287.
WHY NOT get the leaders, KINGS and Queens, Emperors and Princes, CEO's and Major BIG shot REAL Estate owners and HOLY chosen ones to COMPETE! COMPETE. PITCH you skill and wisdom up to the world! We are ALL WATCVHING NOW! So why not use the GAMES as a window of communication, without RULES. With Impulses to PLAY and test and learn and feedback with each other?
What of Literature, ART, Music, Economics, Medicine, Cooking? they are all a part of the OLYMPIC or SPORTING EVENT, but unless they are from a corporation that is paying some FATMAN somewhere, they cannot communicate. No matter how GOOD. FREE. Beneficial and humanitarian the case may be. The Olympic Games will NOT become a POLITICAL and/or Economic GAMES, but a purely SPORTING EVENT. In the spirit of fair play, you know, like the war in IRAQ (Gagging)
I echo the fact that 'no one has written anything decent about sports except HOMER (In snatches). And if you write artistically about speed, the color, and the sound and fury of boxing, you'll find it more difficult than writing about the echoes of Confucius, Buddha or Finnegans Wake. HAN and T'ANG dynasties emphasized sports besides the arts. MING and CH'ING dynasties relegated athletics to an inferior position. The greeks were aware of the importance of exercise.'
"my pen is upt to scratch, to compound quite the makings
of a verdigrease savingsbook in the form of a pair of capri
sheep boxing gloves surrounding this matter of the Welsfusel
mascoteers and their sindybuck that saved a city for my publickers,
Nolaner and Browno, --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, Page 412.
Now America and the United Kingdom and much of the world is in the throws of ATHLETIC GODS taking over the entire planet. Better writers than writers. Better politicians than politicians. Scientists. Talk show hosts and sales people for the SUGAR industry. I am being a bit negative again here, but thats because i see a contradiction GAME being played out. How can you support a team that is sponsored by a company that robs you? Rob them back? Rub their back. Write on?
It seems the Olympic Games and most Sporting events attract Testosterone and ALPHA Male activity, even in some female competitiors. Gymnastics has become a kind of strange celebration of what i see as female, but thats my subjective view. Of course women should be able to compete in sports and athletics like any man, also a man should feel comfortable playing cook or nurse. Here we have an example where these activities are not really conducive to the OLYMPIC games, OLYMPIC COOKING? Fastest, most nutritious, Biggest? sort of breaks down a bit. But still, why are only the current official OLYMPIC ACTIVITIES mostly physical strength and endurance activities opposed to skill and intelligence activities?
I hope i have raised some questions, and i hope to come back and wax on more about SPORTS LANGUAGE and COMMERCE.
"Infantilism incresing till our time,
attension to outlet, no attension to source,
That is: the problem of issue. -- Ezra Pound. Canto LXXXVII.
--Steven Pratt, May 1st 2008.
Doping, Education, Health. Sport? Politics?
The Oilympic Games in Beijing seem to have already been hijacked
By Political leaders and their political language.
The sports people are not being equally quoted or given a VOICE by the major media today.
Its just their actions and not their words that are broadcast to the world.
Meanwhile the political world leaders have their actions hidden,
And their Big Bully Brother words broadcast as FACT!
While the fans have neither words or actions of any interest,
But we find their sayingings like "Go Olympics"
All over the brain numbing news.
To say nothing of the semantical disturbance created by
Individuals reffering to nations as GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
Rather than fictitious phantom sovereign entities,
Pirate Sovereign entities that seem to promote patriotism and other such semantical disturbances!
And i agree with whoever said that
PEOPLE WHO WAVE FLAGS DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE ONE!
Make your own flag!
Who are you?
I am Nemo!

More world leaders – more than 100 sovereigns, heads of state and heads of government - will be attending the Beijing Olympic Games, as well as 170 Ministers of Sport.
As well as discussing the Beijing Games, Rogge will be using the meetings as an opportunity to raise issues of concern to the Olympic movement – the fight against doping, and the role of sport in education and in improving public health. -- www.olympic.org
The procedure we are pursuing is that of true democracy. Semi-democracy accepts the dictatorship of a majority in establishing its arbitrary, ergo, unnatural, laws. True democracy discovers by patient experiment and unanimous acknowledgement what the laws of nature or universe may be for the physical support and metaphysical satisfaction of the human intellect’s function in universe. --Buckminster Fuller: Operating manual For Spaceship Earth
SWIMMING and NIKE and ADIDAS
Swimming in a new suit.
With an energy bar,
X-MEN suits.
Nike and Adidas await sportspeople

SELLING SWIMMING
My respects to Mark Foster.
UK Maverick and Bad-boy of swimming,
Selected to be the UK Flag bearer.
1948 at the XIVth Olympioc games, London
Korea beat Iraq 120-20 and
China beat Iraq 125-25 in basketball.
Iraqi basketball team of 2008?
How have the Bush/Cheney Blair/Straw wars
Effected IRAQI olympic basketball?
I wonder if Iraq plays much baseball?
Addidas anbd Nike get into swimming promotional business.
Sporting creative capitalism?
Haliburtan, I.G faben, BAE systems, FOX, CNN and Rockerfellers
What makes GOOD and BAD creative capitalism?
Livingry vs. Killingry and the links between their backers
Stock holders and intelligence briefs.
Good and/or Bad business as usual?
Why is business and how is it business as usual?
Selling the mostly invisible and unknowable
"products"
To the mostly invisible and unknowable individuals?
Selling truth and reality with a super-hero sports complex?
The media sports police and propaganda machines whirl.
How many sugar filled products can a sports-person sell?
How many pairs of shoes can a runner sell, how many drugs?
Don't start me to talking about swimming,
Its hard to swallow,
I care for swimming facilities and health and fitness
Within the community.
Everybody should have a chance to swim,
Not just the great atheletes of the great Nations!
My sporting bet is that in these 2008 OLYMPICS
The most power crazed, militaristric, industrial
Agricultural Nations will seize the most
GOLD AND SILVER.
As throughout History!
Bush is opening the games,
Go figure...
At the end of these summer games 6008
The hierrarchy of super-TSOG nations may look
The same as past Olympic games.
The Big, rich, bully nations at the TOP
The poorer, smaller, war-torn nations at the BOTTOM.
Or missing from the GAMES entirely.
How about a hadicap for competing SPORTING NATIONS
Who harbour NUCLEAR WEAPONS, or deal arms or
Maybe a national pollution hadicap?
What is a professional atheletes carbon footprint like
Compared with the vast majority of earth population?
Jet setting sports people, why not run or swim home?
I communicate these words with a sportsmans experience
10 years in the swimming pool, swimming throuigh the ranks
County, District and National champion (20 years ago)
--Plus all my underwater dreams (See wordspore.blogspot.com
I have practical and theoretical knowledge of swimming,
The slogan i created on the 31st December 2005 at
Brierley Hill Swimming baths was SWIMMING NOT WINNING.
In the face of my defeat by Dudley Council, and the closure
And eventual demolishion of the functional swimming baths.
Where i had swam over 10'000 miles and taught numerous Children
To swim over the last 20 years.
I refused to leave the pool between 3.30 and 4.20 PM.
They lifeguards and Leisure staff called the Heads of staff
In dudley, and the local POLICE.
The errected a steel fence around the pool and even started
Draining the pool with ME in it.
Eventually i completed 78 lengths in protest
I also threw a Hereford and Worcestershire GOLD medal away
Into the pool, as a symbol of my disgust as the double crossed
Crooked lies perpetuated within both local and national Government.
I'm still not bitter and i have my focus.
I'm going for GOLD now.
For the banks.
What is money, HOW is it and why is it that way.
Who distributes it and how.
Tell me, tell me all.
GOLD!, how is it gold and why?
Silver?
What creates and inflates and deflates values systems for MINERALS?
Availability? USURY?
How about the relative value of paper money?
An olympic gold medal should go to a nations sporting
Economists, the indipendent journalists who ask and seek
the question of HOW and WHY is money money?
The history of credit, war bank-rolling, money games and rules?
Play the game, be fair
Think social credit and Silvio Gessell's natural economic order
LETS. Major Douglas, Ezra Pound and Robert Anton Wilson!
How do you sell sports?
Put a little sugar on it, brand it.
Apply non-sporting business tactics?
letr the games begin!

FAIR GAME AND OLYMPIC ECONOMIC RULES?
Who can FIX the Olympic itch?
I want to see a FAIR GAME.
Fair PLAY in the Public OLYMPIC
COURTS. Pools and Fields 2008.
SPORT AND FAIR PLAY?
Who's in training to be a good sport?
A better competitor. More FAIR and thoughtful?
Individuals, nations and one planet playing
Fair games with the worlds eyes watching via
TELECOMMUNICATIONS.
Competition and battles between representatives
Of different tribes.
Not only in it for the Money or sponsor?
For the spirit of sportsmanship.
The GREAT OLD ONES (GOO)
Sports-people inspire every-people to
Transcend any limits and go beyond the
Physical and mental HURDLES any GOO
May have set for us.
To be the best?
Who measures the best and with WHAT INSTRUMENTS
Do they do their measuring with?
The CLOCK.
Scale. Photograph. Human Eye. Human subjective taste.
Where is the FAIR AND EQUAL.
NON-biased.
To be a sportsperson and be playful
Open to f-e-e-d-b-a-c-k
Willing to change and modify individual
Activity, based on the freshest data,
In the interests of humanity, the group and the
SPORTING ACTIVITY.
I see a fair sportsperson having the positive
Attributes that our political representatives LACK.
Willingness to play create the NEW and
FEEDBACK.
The sporting and pleasure groups and appear to me to
NOT have mastered the political principles
And
The political groups see to lack mastery of sporting
And pleasure principles.
--To say nothing of religion.
Fair play, Fair rules and equal chances.
Equal ECONOMIC stability for ALL the global
Competitors in the free SPORTS market.
BEYOND SPORT. Into the spirit.
Equal and fair access to equipment and
Facilities for the worlds SPORTS-PEOPLE.
----------Those who wish to PLAY the games.
Sporting events are picture postcards for PEACE
Between nations and peoples everywhere. PLAY not war!
Different gene pools with different nationalities
Coming together! to play a world game.
The question hangs in the air like Napalm!
WHY CAN'T OUR POLITICAL LEADERS PLAY FAIR?
What on earth are sporting economic models and theories.
Sporting economic practice? In a Tsarist Occupation Zone.
Why are economics sporting?
Human writes...
Contradictions to the meaning of Global Justice
One rule for one, one rule for another,
Who owns the means to distribute the information?
Who makes economic sanctions that help close-down
Sports Courts, swimming pools and schools in
Some countries.
National spending on sports and sporting facilities,
Versus National Defence spending.
Who makes the international rules of ECONOMIC trade
Relations.
Who sets the bar?
Who most influences a nations sports budget,
Sports people or politicians and ministers
Or political sports-people?
How do the mob-rules of politics influence
The strict rules of sporting bodies authorities.
Sport in the time of war
Football on the battle fronts of WWI.
Running. Running. Running.
Jumping, shooting, fencing, throwing things.
Sporting events between
WARRING nations and tribes to make a peace.
To force out the difference, peacefully.
Individual representatives of their tribe
--Clad in their clans flag rags
And medieval symbols.
In full sporting battle
With each other and with the game rule matrix.
All in full public view?
Speak to me now,
Sporting entity, speak, tell us a tale
Who are you?
What, why, how is sport sport?
DRUGS and their sporting DAMNBIGUATION
Who measures the drugs,
Who defines them.
Who decides what substances are UN-FAIR
And an UN-sporting advantage for All competitors
What helps the athlete?
Sports get you own hard-wired DRUG-BRAINS pumping DRUGS
All over your body.
Sports people are allowed to show Ecstasy in public,
HIGH on their activity, high on their own DRUG (endorphins)
DRUGS manufactured in their own illegal heads.
--According to some of the most popular sporting authorities
So called...
Most drugs used in sport illegally don't make you HIGH
Like weed and sh rooms, no, they make you stronger,
Calmer etc. For mostly physical benefits. Tranquillity.
An Olympic Economic vision
Sporting in its practice. Fair. Sporting economics!
Self-depreciating currency as a FAIR and EQUAL
World game!
Life and trade upon a really -free-fair
Playing field
Social. Economic. Humanitarian.
The name of this game is
DOING MORE WITH LESS.
BUCKMINSTER FULLER OLYMPIC WORLD GAMES!
Individual vs. The Sovereign State
The furthest distance covered with the lightest
FOOTPRINT.
Whats the fuel cost to the environment to get all these athletes
To BEIJING?
To win is to win with a Clean track record.
A good national track record too, and a
New Individual best performance--
UNITY between self & State!
Not to speak of the other.
Grounded in fairness.
Let the games begin and the rules all change.
Let the people play everywhere.
SPORT is only possible between equals!
